Chapter 1152


    "You, um..."


    Mango was astounded to hear this.


    Meanwhile, Esther still wore a carefree smile.


    "What''s the matter? Are you scared?"


    "No! That''s not it, I''m just a little surprised."


    Mango regained herposure before she said hurriedly. However, she was still shocked by


    Esther actually wanted members of the Dark Night Empire to investigate Morgan''s superior!


    To put it bluntly, Esther suspected that there was a problem with Morgan''s superior, right?


    Mango was terrified when she thought of what this could mean.


    If Esther''s guess was correct, too many people would be involved in this.


    However, Esther did not force Mango to do it either. She only said lightly, "Please help if you can. If


    you can''t do it, ignore my request. I can buy some information from Dark Mantle."


    "If you go to Dark Mantle to buy information now, won''t you expose your weakness to others? I''ll do


    it."


    Mango had already calmed down in just a few seconds.


    After all, Morgan and Nathaniel had been working with each other for a long time, so no one could


    break their bond. Besides, how could she let Esther delve into such dangerous matters?


    Besides, Bernard was already targeting Nathaniel and her, so it didn''t matter what else they did.


    Therefore, it would be great if there could remove Esther from the line of danger.


    Esther''s calm demeanor finally changed when she heard Mango''s words.


    "No! Mango, this is too dangerous!"


    After that, Esther held Mango''s hand tightly as she said hesitantly, "But only the Dark Night Empire


    can do this. Now that the higher- ups are monitoring Morgan, I can''t do it either. Although you and


    Nathan always get into trouble, this is the time for you to find out the truth! This matter is of utmost


    importance, so you have to keep it strictly confidential. Once you obtain the evidence, Morgan will


    be fine, and you can solve your problems as well! This kills two birds with one stone!"


    "Huh? What do you mean by solving our problems? Do you know what is our problem now?"


    Esther smiled mysteriously, but she kept quiet.


    Soon, Nathaniel came back. When he that Mango and Esther were enjoying the conversation, he


    said, "Are you done? Well go back after this."


    "Alright!"


    Mango stood up and took a look at Esther. She then whispered, "Take good care of yourself."


    "Don''t worry. I won''t let anything happen to my children before Morganes back."


    When Mango heard this, she was impressed to see how determined Esther was.


    After she went outside with Nathaniel, she sighed and eximed, "I really underestimated Esther


    before."


    Nathaniel smiled faintly in reply.


    "Well, she has been married to Morgan for so many years, so she holds a famous reputation in the


    military district. Do you really think that she is a weak woman? It''s just that Morgan usually takes


    good care of her, so she doesn''t need to do anything. She is a woman who can be both soft and


    firm."


    When Mango heard Nathaniel''s words, she understood more about Esther.


    After that, the two of them drove away from the military district. Then, Mango said abruptly, "Let''s go


    to Desmond''s ce. I need to talk to him."


    "Just call him then. Why do you have to go over there in person?"


    Nathaniel couldn''t help but ask when he saw that Mango was already exhausted.


    However, Mango replied softly, "It''s almost the New Year, so let''s go and visit him. Marissa''s parents


    are still there too. Desmond has been working so hard for the Dark Night Empire for the past six


    months. I don''t know if he has prepared any good food for the new year. He is usually a quiet


    person, so he won''t say a word, even if he wants something. After all, the only thing he thinks about


    is work. As his boss, isn''t it normal for me to go and visit him? Besides, Desmond has gone through


    a lot of suffering alone, so I want to matchmake him with Haniya. What do you think?"


    Well, I don''t think we should intervene in other people''s rtionships. You should let their


    rtionship develop naturally over time."


    Although Nathaniel said so, he still listened to Mango''s suggestion and drove to Desmond''s ce.


    Since Desmond had worked for Mango, he had already requested an advance payment from her. In


    fact, he paid a down payment for a house so that Marissa''s parents could stay there.


    The house was a vi. It was not massive, but it had more than two hundred screens. It was a two-


    storeyed building that had its own door and courtyard. However, because of the peaceful and


    elegant environment, the price of the house was on the high end. Therefore, after paying the


    housing loan, Desmond didn''t have much of his sry left.


    However, the vi was not located not far from The Ye''s Mansion, so it didn''t take long for Nathaniel


    to drive there.


    During this period, Mango bought some supplements and new year food from the mall and brought


    them over.


    After Mango and Nathaniel alighted the car, Nathaniel was about to knock on the door when he


    heard a "bang" from inside the house. Then, they heard Victoria screaming.


    "Desmond, you b*stard! How dare you dodge from me!"


    Creases appeared in Mango''s brows slightly when she heard this. In fact, she found the sharp shrill


    almost repulsing.


    "What on earth is going on?"


    When Mango heard this, she intended to knock on the door, but Nathaniel stopped her.


    He gave Mango a look before he opened the


    electronic door of Desmond''s house with ease.


    Mango froze almost instantly when she saw this.


    "Honey, when did you learn to pick a lock? If you lose your job in the future, perhaps we can be


    locksmiths in the future!"


    Nathaniel shot Mango a helpless look before flicking his finger at her forehead. Then he said in a


    low voice, "Look at you. Even if the Ye family goes bankrupt, we won''t need to work as locksmiths!"


    "Then why did you learn how to pick locks?"


    Mango asked with a dejected expression as she rubbed her forehead.


    Then, Nathaniel replied with a smile, "This is an electronic lock. Do you think that anything rted to


    technology will be hard for me?"


    "Ah, I guess that''s true."


    When Mango said this, she seemed to be enlightened all of a sudden. Nathaniel found her


    confused look so adorable, so his lips couldn''t help but curl into a smile once again.


    After that, they heard Victoria''s scolding voiceing from the room again.


    "Hey! Who allowed you to hide? You''ve got guts now, haven''t you? Do you think that you''re great


    just because you work for that b*tch named Mango? How could you dodge my hand? Go ahead! I


    dare you to try and hide from me again!"


    As soon as she finished her sentence, the sound of a whip pierced through the air. When Mango


    heard this, her face darkened in an instant.


    "Urgh! That b*tch has crossed the line this time!"


    Mango walked into the house quickly when she heard this.


    On the other hand, Nathaniel looked upset as well.


    When they entered, they saw Desmond standing upright properly while he was half- naked.


    Meanwhile, Victoria was holding the whip as she mercilesslyshed at his torso.


    Every time the whip came in contact with his skin, blood would seep out from each new wound.


    There didn''t seem to be an uninjured spot on Desmond''s torso, and new and old wounds were


    scattered all over his body. This was such a horrifying sight indeed!


    Therefore, when Mango saw this, she flew into a rage instantly.


    "Hey! Stop right now!"


    She wanted to walk forward to stop Victoria, but Nathaniel was one step ahead of her. He kicked the


    whip in Victoria''s hand away directly.


    Victoria let out a groan before she took a step back in fear. However, she grew even angrier when


    she saw who had entered her house.


    "Hah! I was wondering who came here. I didn''t expect that both of you woulde! What''s the


    matter? I''m simply schooling my servant, is there anything wrong with it?"


    Victoria replied harshly.


    Meanwhile, Desmond frowned slightly as he said to Mango, "Sir, Madam, you should go back first.


    I''lle to meet both of youter."


    "Why do you have toe to us? Look at you now! Desmond, why have you never told me about


    what happens at home?"


    Mango looked at Desmond, whose handsome face was marred with grief dejection. Then, she


    couldn''t help but feel sorry for him.


    She took the clothes beside them straight away and put them on Desmond.


    "Hey! What the heck are you doing?"


    Victoria rushed over and pushed Mango out of the way abruptly. She even threw Desmond''s clothes


    under her feet and stomped on them a few times.


    "You can''t be my daughter just because you make yourself look like her. Mango, you are a


    person who doesn''t have dignity! Why are you here to seduce Desmond? Let me tell you, even if


    Desmond dies, he has to die for Marissa! You are just an imposter, so stay away from him as soon


    as you can. I can tell that something is going on between you two. Now it seems that my hunch is


    correct. Otherwise, why do you feel sorry for him when I beat him? What is he to you? He is just a


    test subject and a harbinger of bad luck. Even if I end up killing him, he deserves it, let alone


    beating him. After all, he owes Marissa too much!"


    Victoria spoke so harshly that no one could stand her.


    After hearing this, Nathaniel''s face suddenly darkened, and the atmosphere around him instantly


    became icy cold.


    "Hah! Are you blind? Can you not see that I''m standing here?"


    Nathaniel did not say these words out loudly, but Victoria trembled for some reason upon hearing


    him. She couldn''t help but feel a shiver going down her spine.


    "Nathaniel, are you a real man? Your wife is hooking up with Desmond. Can''t you watch over her for


    a bit?"


    However, Victoria still had a sharp tongue. Even if she was frightened and trembling in fear, she still


    refused to stop her sarcastic remarks.


    After hearing that, Mango pped her directly.


    "We treat you nicely for Marissa''s sake, but you''re a f*cking b*tch!"


    In fact, Mango had pped Victoria hard in the face, and her entire hand was numb.


    "Ouch, did you hit me? Ah, I know! You dare to hit me because you look like my daughter!


    Desmond, are you dead? How can you just watch when others beat me up? Didn''t you promise


    Marissa that you will take good care of us? Is this how you take care of me? I know Marissa is


    dead, so you don''t have to keep your word. Oh, my poor daughter!"


    Victoria sat on the ground directly and wailed afterining.


    On the other hand, Desmond''s face suddenly turned pale.


    Furthermore, his body was swaying, and it appeared that he was about to faint at any time.


    He couldn''t understand what was going on at all! He had done so much for the parents of the Fang


    family, so why was Victoria still scolding him with such vicious words? In fact, she was always using


    Marissa''s death to trigger him!

    Besides, only God knew how much he wished that he had died in Marissa''s ce instead!


    "How could you still cry? I think I''ve beaten you too lightly."


    Mango was so angry that she strutted forward again, but Desmond stopped her this time.


    "Madam, she is Marissa''s mother."


    Desmond spoke in a hoarse voice.


    A trace of pain flickered across his eyes as he said that. He didn''t care about the wounds all over


    his body, but he couldn''t stand anyone attacking him with such vicious words.


    When Mango saw this, she felt helpless all of a sudden.


    On the other hand, Nathaniel said coldly, "I don''t know what Desmond promised you, and I don''t


    know how you usually treat him. But from now on, I can fire Desmond so he won''t get a penny, and


    the bank can reim your house if you can''t pay your loans! Then, you won''t have any money to


    maintain your luxurious lifestyle. Heh! It will likely be difficult for you to even have proper meals. You


    can hit Desmond every day and beat him to death at that time. What will you do then? Oh, wait, that


    won''t be necessary at all. I''ll send my men to break Desmond''s bones. After all, he was hooking up


    with my wife, right? I''m sure that you mentioned this just now."


    After saying that, he made a phone call directly. Soon after, a few people rushed into the house and


    restrained Desmond immediately.


    Each one of them looked ferocious, and they even held shiny daggers in their hands. When the


    people in the room saw the shape daggers, they couldn''t help but feel a cold chill running down their


    spines.
